Material looks good, Oxford, nice size for my Ninja Pro XL electric bbq fitted with 2 trays on the dedicated stand.
Not 100% liking the velcro straps as could do with a bit more adjustment for this unit of mine, but will use an external strap to make more secure.
Item appears to be well manufactured and of a high quality, will update on how well it performs later after a good ole English weather test, but it looks fit for purpose and i would not hesitate to reccomend to prospective buyers.
This cover is made from a heavy-duty, PU-coated material which resembles that used for the bases of modern, lightweight tents. It is supplied in a neat, zipped storage wallet and thanks to its generous sizing of 1.45m x 1.17m x 61cm depth, the cover slipped over our 4-burner gas BBQ even without the need to fold-down the shelves at each end.
The cover is supplied with sewn-on handles at each side, which allow it to be easily pulled-down and snugged into position. Similarly, adjustable velcro strapping allows the shape of the cover to be reduced to lessen the effect of strong winds. To further secure and wind-proof the cover, there is a draw-string fitted around the bottom edge… this works quite well and does allow the cover to be tightened into and around the base of the barbecue.
However, in its first week on test with several nights of stormy winds across the garden, we did find that the cover ‘ballooned-out’ and flapped-about at the top once winds got underneath the barbecue. This was easily fixed by adding another ring of thin rope around the fullest section of our barbecue (we used some para-cord which we had to hand) – so do beware if your barbecue is left exposed outside in windy weather. Although I don’t think the cover would have flown off, the way that any loose section of the cover flapped about, I would worry about how long the stitched seams of the cover would last in such extreme conditions.
Other than that small problem, this is a good quality, PU waterproof cover which really is a massive improvement over the cheap, thin plastic covers available in most garden retail outlets. It is well-made, with several good fitting features and offers impressive weather/storage protection at a very reasonable price-point.
There’s an old saying that go’s ‘You get what you pay for’ and that, is certainly the case with this heavy duty, waterproof, gas barbecue cover. The cheap green woven polythene covers are okay, but they are quite flimsy, flap around in the slightest breeze and make a lot of noise on windy nights when you’re trying to sleep, plus they don’t last very long when exposed to wind and the UV rays from sunlight.
This 145 x 117 x 67cm 3/4 burner BBQ cover by EMOIEMO is much thicker, so is not going to flap around so much in the wind, and is UV protected so should last for many years if stored properly when not in use (ensure it is totally dry before folding away in the handy storage bag that come with the cover)
Like I said, ‘You get what you pay for’, and at this price point, it’s only a few quid more to buy than those short lived, nasty, green polythene covers.
